For those of you who may have content written by multiple authors on your site you can assign different authors to each post if desired.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Traditionally you would assign a global author for the entire site and those attributes would be used in all post bylines, social networking links in the footer, Twitter Cards, and Google Authorship. These `owner` variables defined in your `config.yml`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start by creating an `authors.yml` file in the `_data` folder and add your authors using the following format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{% highlight yaml %}
